try this go to any post and look at the last post when you are ready to post click reply at the bottom of the post. you should see the editor it might take a few seconds to load. or try posting a new topic. I know you need a new pc look at this sundays paper for office depot or staples they have some good COMPAQ PC's get your boys to buy you a christmas present in July.

Four4me, thanks for your help. I've tried all that and all I get is the yellow background to reply but no dialogue box.

Before that I got the dialogue box, entered a post but when I hit post reply it wouldn't do it.

That summertime Xmas gift is a real good idea. I'll have to work on that angle. They complain about the computer on a daily basis, so this way they can get a new one to use, not have to buy me anything at Xmas and I'll even throw my birthday presents in there.
